The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore has never been about subtlety. Since its introduction in 1993, the Offshore pushed the Royal Oak into bolder territory, creating a sportier and more muscular take on Gérald Genta’s original design. The 26470ST, often nicknamed the “Vampire”, captures that spirit perfectly with a striking mix of black and red that gives the watch its distinctive personality.

Housed in a 42mm stainless steel case, the watch carries all the hallmarks of the Offshore line. The iconic octagonal bezel, exposed screws and sharp mix of brushed and polished finishes create a design that feels both industrial and refined. The black Méga Tapisserie dial features bold Arabic numerals, a date window at three o’clock and chronograph subdials, while the red accents across the hands and markers add a dramatic contrast that immediately stands out.

Inside is the self winding Calibre 3126/3840, offering reliable chronograph functionality and a 50 hour power reserve. Paired with a black rubber strap and water resistant to 100 metres, it is a watch built to balance performance with presence, making the “Vampire” one of the more memorable expressions of the Royal Oak Offshore.

Our example dates to 2021 and is presented in excellent overall condition. There are a few small chips visible along the sides of the case, though the watch shows no signs of polishing and retains its original factory lines. It is offered as a complete set, accompanied by its original Audemars Piguet box, warranty card and booklets.
